HelpReleases1_4_0

Release 1.4.0

The following changes were made in this release:

Significant changes:

Issue 133: Add Syntax highlighting to Response Panel

The HTML panels now support switchable syntax highlighting.

Issue 153: fuzzdb integration

The fuzzer includes fuzzdb (https://github.com/fuzzdb-project/fuzzdb) fuzzing files. Note that some fuzzdb files have been left out as they cause common anti virus scanners to flag them as containing viruses. You can replace them (and upgrade fuzzdb) by downloading the latest version of fuzzdb and expanding it in the 'fuzzers' library.

Issue 212: Parameter analysis

A new Params tab shows a summary of all of the parameters a site has used.

Issue 228: Enhanced XSS scanner

The Cross Site Scripting active scanner has been rewritten from scratch to find more potential XSS issues and report fewer false positives.

Issue 244: Port the Watcher passive checks

The following checks have been ported from Watcher (thanks to Chris Weber for oking this):

	Check.Pasv.CrossDomain.ScriptReference.cs	checks for cross-domain javascript files inclusion.
	Check.Pasv.Header.CacheControl.cs	checks HTTP cache-control header on SSL pages.
	Check.Pasv.Header.ContentTypeMissing.cs	checks that the Content-Type HTTP header is not missing.
	Check.Pasv.Header.FrameOptions.cs	checks that the X-FRAME-OPTIONS is not missing or insecurely set.
	Check.Pasv.Header.IeXssProtection.cs	checks that the X-XSS-Protection has not been set to disable IE's XSS protection.
	Check.Pasv.Header.MimeSniff.cs	checks that the X-CONTENT-TYPE-OPTIONS has been set.
	Check.Pasv.InformationDisclosure.DatabaseErrors.cs	checks for database error messages.
	Check.Pasv.InformationDisclosure.DebugErrors.cs	checks for debugging error messages.
	Check.Pasv.InformationDisclosure.InUrl.cs	checks for information disclosure in URL parameters.
